Frequently asked questions about pulley washing lines

What is a pulley washing line?

A pulley washing line is a line or rope for drying laundry that can be raised or lowered depending on your needs. They can be used both indoors or outdoors. 

What is the best rope for a pulley?

The best rope for a pulley is often considered to be Nylon pulley rope, due to their low friction and noise, yet high strength yield – perfect for raising and lowering heavy loads of laundry.

What is the strongest washing line?

Steel washing lines are considered to be the strongest type of washing line. This is due to their metal core, which can hold excessively more weight than their natural and synthetic counterparts, without snapping or fraying.

Should a washing line be tight?

Yes! Maintaining a tight clothesline is paramount for keeping your clean clothes off the ground and high in the breeze to dry. This in turn prevents dirt and debris from contaminating your freshly washed items, and helps them dry quicker.
